Trump’s Intervention Not Invasion Of Nigeria — Christian Council

The Christian Council of Nigeria, CCN, has said the recent designation of Nigeria by the United States as a Country of Particular Concern over alleged human rights violations and reports of Christian persecution should not be viewed as an invasion of national sovereignty but as an answered prayer.

In a statement signed by its President, Most Rev. David Onuoha, and General Secretary, Rt. Rev. Evans Onyemara, the Council said the development should prompt Nigerian leaders to confront insecurity and religious killings that have persisted for nearly two decades.

The group urged political, ethnic, and religious leaders to put aside divisions and cooperate with the US and other partners in addressing the country’s security challenges.

“This is not the time for debate on whether there is Christian genocide in Nigeria or not

“Rather, it is a time to work together to end the killings and restore peace,” the statement read.

The Council criticized what it described as a lack of political will to end violence, kidnappings, and banditry across the country, warning that the continued loss of lives was eroding the nation’s moral and governance values.

While acknowledging that insecurity predated the current administration, the CCN said it remained the government’s duty to protect lives and property.

It also called on Nigerians to continue praying for peace and unity, adding that history would be kind to President Bola Tinubu if he acted decisively to end the killings.
